Chicken Walnut Cheese Wrapped in Bacon Recipe

Ingredients

2 boneless

skinless chicken breasts

halved horizontally

8 ounces crumbled blue cheese

6 ounces walnut halves

8 slices bacon

Dinner

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Pound chicken slices until they are even in thickness and about 1/4-inch thick. Spread blue cheese and walnuts on top of each chicken piece. Roll chicken breasts over filling.

Step 3

Place 2 bacon slices side by side on a work surface. Place each chicken roll at one end of bacon slices and roll bacon around chicken; secure with toothpicks. Repeat with remaining chicken rolls and bacon.

Step 4

Heat a skillet to medium-high heat and cook bacon-wrapped chicken rolls in the hot skillet until the bacon is browned and crisp 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken rolls to preheated oven; bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear 25 to 35 minutes.
